YouTube University

Chapter 3

Felix grabbed a coffee, and we sat for a few more minutes until our next classes had come upon us. We said our goodbyes, and I grabbed my book bag and headed to the Vlogging class. There were more YouTubers that I didn't know than I did know, and when I spotted someone I recognized, I took a seat next to them.

Thankfully, it was who I thought it was. Troye Sivan.

"Hey," I said and Troye turned his head and smiled at me.

"Hi." He said. Immediately, I could recognize the Australian accent.

"I'm Anna, you're Troye Sivan, right?"

"Sure am." He said.

"That's so cool that you came here from Australia."

"Honestly, I've been to L.A. so much that it's become my second home so it's not much of a travel."

I nodded and then the class started. A female teacher walked in this time, and of course she introduced herself and told us a short story of how she had graduated from YTU and all that good stuff. Miss Bailey, which we discovered was her name, told us to take our cameras that we had brought (the school wasn't providing cameras for Vlogging class, one of the most essential equipments in Vlogging) and walk around the school, filming ourselves talking about everything we were doing and perhaps telling our audience about events happening in our lives as we walked to our destinations.

The class headed outside onto the field where I had filmed the 'How To NOT Act in Public!' video with my friends.

"What's up guys, my name is Anna Brookes and today I am vlogging!" I spoke to my handheld Canon camera and gave a quick introduction to my video. "As you all know, I'm at YouTube University right now and I am actually filming this video for my Vlogging class. The class is to help you understand what you're supposed to be telling the audience, which is you guys. For example, we're supposed to talk about where we're headed, since you only vlog when you're out doing something, or even if you're not going anywhere, you talk about what you're doing at the moment."

I paused and began walking around the field. "So to give you guys a brief understanding, I'm standing in the middle of a field where a few of my YouTube friends and I filmed a collaboration which should be up this upcoming Saturday, and hey. Check it out." I panned the background and behind me you could see some other YouTubers speaking into their cameras.

"As you can see, everyone is getting busy filming their videos so they can pass this class. Hey, let's go say hi to Troye Sivan."

I took my camera and continued to film myself, but walked very sneakily into the background of Troye's video. Once he noticed me, I waved and he laughed then he motioned for me to walk over to him.

"Guys," he started. "this is Anna. You may or may not know her, but either way she's going to be in my video. So deal with it!"

I laughed and spoke into my camera. "And for my audience, this is Troye Sivan. I hope you know who he is, he-" I was cut off by my eyes wandering to a slim figure on the other side of the field. "Felix!" I ran away from Troye and rushed up behind Felix, scaring him. He jumped, and I laughed.

"Guys, look!" I shouted into my camera. "It's PewDiePie!"

"My God, Anna. You almost made me drop my camera!" I glanced at his hands and he was holding the same brand camera I have, just the big and expensive version.

"Are you in Vlogging?" He asked me.

"Yes, and Photography, right?"

Felix nodded. "I'm about to head down to the pond, want to come?"
